POLL: Which mod would you prefer?

[fsck]

I purchased this game the instant I found it a week ago. Since then I've been playing it a LOT, and being a SysAdmin *and* a programmer I already have a strong desire to start tinkering.

I've thought of three interesting initial mods, and wanted to get community reaction on which is the most desirable. Would you prefer a total mod (including ships, races, ai files, etc.) for:

1) Star Wars
2) Star Trek
3) Babylon 5
4) Star Control II
4) Other

I'll start work on whatever gets the most votes after a week. Also, if anyone could point me to initial resources to understanding the data files and AI scripting I would be greatly appreciative.

EDIT: Added Star Control II option when thinking about the Chmmr *grin*.

4) Other - The Empire from "The mote in gods eye" (Pournelle/Niven).

If you haven't read it, read it now - it is the best "first contact with aliens" book ever written.

5) Then the Moties from the above.

I also think a B5 mod would be cool! You may be hard pressed to come up with a enough capital ship designs though. Unless your going to make some up.

There are plenty ship designs and components that can be taken from Agents of Gaming's board games, Babylon 5 Wars and B5W: Fleet Action. Just search the 'Net for related sites.

I stand corrected. I knew there was a board game, but I've never played. I was just refering to the ships in the TV series.

I've actually talked to Rambie about possibly making a B5 mod for SE4... My shipset already has some of the features needed for this with as well...

It is slightly low on ships though so each race would not have a complete listing (5 ships for Narn, 5 for Earth vs. 3 for Centauri, & 1 for Drazi). It would work well for Alliance & Shadow Army shipsets/races though...

Oh & Worgaus their is a Klingon fighter/shuttle type thing that I have a pic of... Though only one... & I'd love to have a Klingon or Romulan set to play with (right now I'm stuck playing star wars empire sets)...

I'd like to see a Battlefleet Gothic (from Games Workshop [www.games-workshop.com]) Same universe as Warhammer 40,000, so Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Imperium, Tyranids, etc...

really wild ships, volumes of tech, tons of special features. really interesting play.

Now that would be sweet. Great Idea!

To Shadow and anyone else interested: Once I find some ground troops and weapon platforms for the the Romulans and Klingons, I'll be more than happy to upload them to whatever site happens to be hosting such things =) Well, both sets as they stand now could use some cleaning up, but they work fine as they stand now. I'm also thinking of doing the Borg as well, when I get around to it =) I might start that set this weekend if I feel up to it.

Star Control II. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ")

As you can probably guess from my name, I would love to see a full Babylon 5 shipset developed for each of the races. One possible source of inspiration for completing each race's capital ships might be the collectible card game put out by Precedence. The pictures on those cards are very scannable. For those of you who are more artistically and technically gifted than I am, please please, please do up a nice Centauri shipset soon.

Vir! You have made a mess of this post once again, now give me a large cup of brivari so that I may begin to forget the bad times and remember the glory of the great Centauri Republic.
